How about just one Ki-67 pilot joins me?

I would actually if I had internet, sorry. 

Thank you, fbWldcat.  If by any chance you get connectivity in the meantime (as the scenario runs for 5 Saturdays, starting July 31), please feel free to show up as a walkon.  I guarantee that you will get a spot. <S>

Also, years from now, when these two folks are sitting around the fireside with grandkids on their knees, and the grandkids ask, "What did you do in the great Philippine Phandango battle," Sandwich and Big-mo won't have to say, "Well . . . I sat around giving reasons why I didn't want to fly." 

If any US infidels wish to shoot at your KI - 67's  they will have to go through my group of Hayates!   The Gale shall sweep you aside and your bases will lay in ruins.

Folks -- that is fighting spirit from Bruv!

The Emperor isn't going to get any messages saying that "we are holding our position." We're not holding anything. Let the Americans do that. We are advancing constantly and we're not interested in holding onto anything except the enemy. We're going to hold onto him by the nose and we're going to kick him in the tail.

Thank you, Sandwich; and thank you, Big-mo!  <S> 

Now, here are a couple stand-up folks -- true heroes, joining the ranks of the samurai of the air!

We will be doing plenty of fighting, bombing, and torpedoing.  It will be glorious!  Long will the names "Sandwich" and "Big-mo" be remembered in the sagas.

Also, years from now, when these two folks are sitting around the fireside with grandkids on their knees, and the grandkids ask, "What did you do in the great Philippine Phandango battle," Sandwich and Big-mo won't have to say, "Well . . . I sat around hammering out wing ribs and notching tubing for a real airplane"
